Database and Transaction Processing Benchmarks
Summary: Compendium of emerging performance and price/performance benchmarks for database and transaction processing systems. Highlights cost-of-ownership (hardware, software, programming, operations, project risk) as the key criterion, since quantifiable performance drives the primary comparison.
